Sorry 25t, this is where I got the info from:

'The RB25 twin cam head's variable inlet cam timing can be retained on the RB30 block by teeing off the oil pressure galley on the head and feeding the standard RB25 piston mechanism. This pushes the camshaft through a full 10 degree advance. All oil and coolant galleries mate up perfectly, with the exception of this cam advance unit.'

the above was from http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0004 .

After reading this, I did some more investigation and was told it was as simple as drilling a hole in the RB30 block to align with the oil galley for the NVCS by more than one source.

Any chance of some photos?

i am becoming very interested in doing this motor build up as a side project after reading both of these threads which are proving to be very informative.

just a suggestion... is there going to be a price guide to go buy to give some of us an idea of the costs associated with the build up.? <-- for the word document that joel seems to be making

I think they want around a grand for the head..

Thats what I was quoted anyhow.

The Bottom end can be had for almost nothing and well the bearings etc can be had from Nissan so i guess a call to nissan may help us out there.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
